    The document discusses the evolution of concrete dams and embankment dams. It describes how early dams were made of masonry but Portland cement allowed for concrete dams. It outlines different types of concrete dams that emerged such as buttress dams, arch dams, and gravity dams. Roller compaction helped establish mass concrete construction methods. For embankment dams, it describes the transition from homogeneous to zoned dams and the development of rockfill dams with waterproof faces.

    CONCRETE DAM EVOLUTION

    Predecessors of modern dams are masonry dams dating back more than 2000 years.
    Upstream and downstream faces have been formed by dressed masonry and the main body comprises rubble masonry bedded in lime mortar;

    With the advent of Portland cement the concrete dam has largely replaced the masonry dam.

    RCC dam

    Along the years the concrete dam has developed into a number of specific types such as the buttress and the double curvature arch.
    The use of earth moving plant has firmly established roller compaction as the frequently preferred method for mass concrete construction. In gravity structures the water thrust from upstream is resisted through sliding resistance at the base.

    CONCRETE DAM EVOLUTION Attempts at economy have been made by forming voids: hollow gravity dams; buttress dam, where a series of "counterforts" are used to support a continuous facing.
    The foundations between the buttresses are open, thus eliminating uplift pressure and the upstream faces are sloped to encourage additional hydraulic load to improve overall stability

    RCC dam

    An arch dam transmits water load primarily by means of thrust to the abutments.
    Most recent revolution has been reestablishing the concrete gravity dam as an economic alternative: roller compacted concrete techniques "hardfill" dam
    Upstream facing is required

    EMBANKMENT DAM EVOLUTION

    The earliest dams, and even today the simplest dams, are homogeneous earth embankments:
    That is, the material used for the construction remains essentially constant throughout.

    Homogenous Embankment

    The inevitable development was the zoned dam.


    In the case of the zoned earthfill or rockfill dam, materials are selected and used for their specific properties and in proportions guided by local site availability.

    Zoned Embankment

    The next great change came with the increased compaction effected by vibratory rollers that permitted the construction of faced rockfill dams.
    In such dams, the principal body is composed entirely of rockfill, and the waterproof membrane is placed on the sloping upstream face. Modern facings tend to be of reinforced concrete or asphalt
